re: Mortality musings, ~+?
I suppose also there's a sense of lingering regret that I've not done nearly enough in life. I feel I haven't helped as many as I could, or done as much as I possibly can to maximize the use of what time I have.
I have wonderful friends, a wonderful mate, and in general things are okay. But I still wonder if I could have done more, or still can. But what else can one do except what is on one's immediate power?
Mortality musings, ~+?
Do you ever sit and ponder your own mortality?
Realizing day by day time is slipping through your talons and your body's clock inches one day at a time closer to its last tick.
I'm not sure why my mind is stuck on it tonight, but I've had glimpses of the frailty of life lately. Those I know succumbing over the years to various things, and slowly but surely the pool of people I grew up with, even online, even family, dwindles by the year.
It's natural, or so its said, that our life ends in an eventual lights out, but I can't help but wonder if we'll ever see that changed? To cure death, through upload or synthetic bodies.
But I suppose reflecting on mortality has left me with more of an appreciation for every day, and more value towards ensuring I try to live my life as much as I can. And to do what I can to help those not only here and now live the best life they can, but those who will inevitably come after me.
Life is indeed something to cherish, even if it can suck royally at times... because we only have so much of it, and at the age of 31, I realize that my years are ticking up faster than I noticed prior.

@Draekos Reminds me that I need to get back into my own practices and spiritual dabbling. I need to learn tarot at some point but I currently use a pendulum for divination.
Do something good today. For yourself, for a loved one, for a friend. A small gesture of kindness for the amazing people in our life, yourself included. 💙
Hug. Food. Friendly conversation. It all goes a long way in just keeping the light burning amidst what seems like a sea of darkness.

@kistaro Hello, yes. I am these things. <3
Body Design Ideas, rambling~
Was discussing stuff with a friend relating to bodies and stylings for a custom shell if such became possible in this life.
Settled on a quite interesting design I might explore in art at some point.
Draconoid form, long almost taur-like, slender. 6 'legs' that also work as forelimbs with fully manipulatable paws. Sensors both, technologic and biomechanical all within the body instead of eyes. Tentacles for manipulators that are along, and others can be morphed/spawned into existence as required. An 'approximation' of eyes that essentially when staring into them... the pupils are behaving as a lava lamp would, surrounded by a deep orange pulsating glow. The rest of the form I imagine as ink black, impossibly so~
Might toy with this idea more. A mix of unsettling and completely alien, and a emphasis on abandoning known forms and focusing on the most exotic possible.

@anthracite Unfortunately same, at least momentarily. *Offers winghugs.*

@Draekos I drink fine wine from a mason jar.
@chr Oh no :( I'd let you borrow one of mine but I moved to AZ last year! *Flails.* Hopefully the RMA is quick. ^^
I need to actually find time to hang out with all you snouts in VR, aaaaagh. I have full body and everything >.-.<
@chr Get very very very loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong usb-c cables!
@qdot Sounds like a good idea to me!
MH, Meds?, -~
My mind tonight has been drifting to ... Very dark places. I am unsure the cause but with really messed up dreams coupled with loneliness and isolation... It isn't fun.
I did get my med dose upped recently and one of the side effects is severe depression and creeping... Thoughts that I won't mention by name so it might behoove me to talk to my psychiatrist about it.
